Taxes aren't the only cost government imposes. There's also the cost of adhering to various regulations, and the cost of permit fees and campaign contributions, or bribes (depending on how formalized corruption is in the country) affecting prices. Historically, the US was less economically unfree than most countries, but in the past ten years or so it's been getting worse, while other countries have been improving. It wasn't that long ago that Canada and Ireland were way down in the Index of Economic Freedom, but now they're both ahead of the US. Err, above the US in the ranking, I mean. I realize that not everyone here considers economic freedom a good thing. :-)
